In this study, optimum combinations of the replacement ratios of fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (BS) with cement were examined from the aspect of p [...]

A proper understanding and measurement of the environmental implications arising from cement and concrete manufacturing is critical for the construction industry. This pa [...]

Lime water treatment on a specific lime mortar was tested and evaluated for effectiveness, showing that after a sufficiently high number of applications (160 cycles, 54-8 [...]

Recently, several collapses of assembled floors with large clay units took place in the Czech Republic. The failures are occurring in certain period after finishing of co [...]

Limit states are a central component of probabilistic structural design theory. However, numerous technical limit states for the end of life can be defined for a deterior [...]

Salt crystallization is a common cause of decay for mortars used in historical buildings. This paper describes the influence of mortars composition on their salt crystall [...]

This work deals with the effect of the nanosilica addition on the performance of aerial lime mortars. Several lime mortars were prepared and modified upon the addition of [...]

The use of glazed tiles in façades is typical of urban 19th Century Portuguese architecture and an identity marc that has been the subject of studies and thesis denoting [...]

Linseed oil was one of the most common natural organic additives used in ancient times. Nevertheless the mechanism and the technology, e.g. effects of different dosages, [...]

The properties of concrete with high amount of the mineral admixtures with a few carbon footprint other than cement were showed. The experiment examines the influence tha [...]

This paper builds on previous work investigating the flexural bond strength, initial shear strength and compressive strength of fired clay brickwork built using hydraulic [...]

Porous ceramic aggregate produced from roof tile waste was used as an internal curing agent. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the porous ceramic aggr [...]

The use of lime for the construction of buildings and monuments has a long tradition. Therefore, limebased materials are also predominantly used and often even required i [...]

The quality of repointing work in historic masonry is to an important degree determined by the composition of the repair mortar. Apart from this good workmanship is a bas [...]

A new fast-setting cement, called Roman cement, appeared recently in the market. To identify the possibilities of using it in the field of cultural heritage, it is import [...]

An experimental investigation was conducted to study both the mechanical and durability performance of various specimens constructed with both high-volume fly ash concret [...]

The Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) is the first satellite with the gradiometer onboard. The theory of satellite gravity gradiometry (SGG [...]

Use of ultra high strength concrete (UHSC) is effective in improving durability of concrete structures which should lead to establishment of sustainable society. However, [...]

Abstrakt: V přispěvku jsou předneseny nové poznatky o matematickém modelu nestacionárního proudění v rozvětvení tvaru T. Je zde naznačeno jeho odvození a jso [...]

Physical modeling plays important role in solution of problems of the projection, building-up or construction work of water structures and also in stint of mathematical s [...]

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the behaviour of lime mortars in cold climates, namely by the effect of freeze/thaw cycles. Twelve compositions of mortars were p [...]

Frost is one of the main degradation processes affecting historic buildings in cold environments. Lime mortar is particularly sensitive to degradation by freeze-thaw cycl [...]
